Abstract Effects of long-term bisphosphonate (BP) administration on the metabolism of healthy bone and the concomitant changes in imaging are unclear. Hence, we aimed to retrospectively investigate the effects of long-term BP administration on the intact parietal bone using the standardised uptake value (SUV) derived from single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). We enrolled 29 patients who had odontogenic infection, osteoporosis, bone metastasis cancer, or rheumatoid arthritis, and classified them into BP-naïve: A (14 patients) and BP-treated: B, < 4 years (7 patients) and C, ≥ 4 years (8 patients) groups. We measured the maximum bilateral SUV (SUVmax) of the parietal bone using quantitative bone SPECT software. There were significant differences in the duration of BP administration and SUVmax of the parietal bone among the diseases (P < 0.0001 and P = 0.0086, respectively). There was a positive correlation between the duration of BP administration and SUVmax of the parietal bone (rs = 0.65, P = 0.0002). The SUVmax was significantly different between A and B (P = 0.02) and between A and C (P = 0.0024) groups. This is the first report on the correlation between long-term BP administration and the SUVmax of the parietal bone using the quantitative bone SPECT analysis.
